Today was Civic Intervention Day! As you may have read yesterday, we kicked off a civic engagement project with the help of Megan and Kate – the two masterminds behind Tomorrow Today. Energized by a delicious pancake breakfast, the campers shared out their ideas and in return got thoughtful feedback.
Rachita and Jeremy are creating a type installation reminding people to take life a bit slower. Kyle and Taylor biked the city to spread some love and celebrate strangers. Kinney and Jonathan made people smile with the #SweetBeardProject – who doesn’t love a ginger beard? Al and Chelsea are animating forgotten parking meters to reveal a new purpose. Kiki and I created shelter for our neighbors from tonight’s storm while lighting up Humboldt Park’s street corner. Hope you’re staying dry out there.
A late dinner of Shepard’s Pie was perfect for the mood this evening. I ate my bowl curled up on a couch listening to the sound of rain. Some of us are still cranking but you should join us tomorrow on the livestream to hear all about it at 10am. See you there!
